Tires The factory installed tires on your car were selected to match the car's performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, ride comfort, and tread wear. We recommend that you get the same size, type, and grade of tires when replacement is necessary. If your tires have an all-season tread design, the model name will be followed by the marking: "M + S" (mud and snow) or "all-season". If you decide not to get the same brand of tires as those originally installed, you should make sure that the replacements are the radial type, of the same size, load range, and speed rating as the original tires. If you have any questions about your car's tires, please contact your Honda dealer. Inflation Pressures The tire label on the driver's door jamb shows recommended tire pressures for carrying loads up to the limit shown. These pressures were chosen to provide you with the best combination of tread life, riding comfort and stability under normal driving TIRE LABEL conditions. Improper inflation can reduce both tire life and load carrying capacity. Check the tire pressures at least once a month, including the spare. Lower pressure than recommended lets the tread and sidewalls flex too much, causing increased tire temperatures, uneven wear, and poor handling. Pressure higher than recommended can make the tire too stiff, increasing the chance of damage from road hazards, and also causing uneven wear. CAUTION: Check tire pressure when the tires are cold. (After the car has been parked for more than 3 hours or driven less than 1 mile/1.6 km.) Tire pressure may increase as much as 41 kPa (6 psi) when the tire is hot, so NEVER ADJUST tire pressure when the tires are hot. Never inflate load range B tires to more than 2 2 0 kPa (32 psi) cold. Cars with luggage racks or cartop carriers DO NOT have greater load limits than those on the label. (cont'd)

Tires
The factory installed tires on your car were selected to match the
car's performance capabilities and to provide the best combination
of handling, ride comfort, and tread wear.
We recommend that you get the same size, type, and grade of tires
when replacement is necessary. If your tires have an all-season
tread design, the model name will be followed by the marking: "M +
S" (mud and snow) or "all-season".
If you decide not to get the same brand of tires as those originally
installed, you should make sure that the replacements are the radial
type, of the same size, load range, and speed rating as the original
tires.
If you have any questions about your car's tires, please contact
your Honda dealer.
Inflation Pressures
The tire label on the driver's door
jamb shows recommended tire pres-
sures for carrying loads up to the
limit shown.
These
pressures
were
chosen
to
provide
you
with
the
best
combi-
nation of tread life,
riding comfort
and
stability
under
normal
driving
conditions.
Improper inflation can reduce both
tire life and load carrying capacity.
Check the tire pressures at least once a month, including the spare.
Lower pressure than recommended lets the tread and sidewalls flex
too much, causing increased tire temperatures, uneven wear, and
poor handling. Pressure higher than recommended can make the tire
too stiff, increasing the chance of damage from road hazards, and
also causing uneven wear.
CAUTION:
Check tire pressure when the tires are cold.
(After the car has been parked for more than 3 hours or driven
less than 1 mile/1.6 km.)
Tire pressure may increase as much as 41 kPa (6 psi) when the
tire is hot, so NEVER ADJUST tire pressure when the tires are
hot.
Never inflate load range B tires to more than 220 kPa (32 psi)
cold.
Cars with luggage racks or cartop carriers DO NOT have greater
load limits than those on the label.
